Beagle by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

“Beagle” by P. Buckley Moss is a signed and numbered limited edition lithograph from the Moss Dog Collection, celebrating one of the most popular and beloved hound breeds in the world.

This charming portrait highlights the Beagle’s endearing qualities—its intelligent gaze, expressive eyes, and classic tri-color coat of tan, black, and white. Set within a circular frame, the Beagle sits attentively against a soft background of muted beige and pale blue, with simple branch-like lines suggesting a window scene behind. The composition focuses squarely on the dog’s face and demeanor, capturing both its gentleness and alertness.

Style & Technique

Rendered in Moss’s distinct folk-art style, the lithograph balances simplicity with character. Her delicate brushwork conveys the dog’s soulful expression, while the circular format creates an intimate, medallion-like feel. Subtle washes of color provide depth without overwhelming the subject, allowing the dog’s personality to remain the focal point.

As with all of Moss’s signed and numbered editions, the lithographic process ensures clarity, rich color retention, and collectible value, making this a treasured piece for both dog lovers and Moss collectors.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood of “Beagle” is gentle, loyal, and affectionate. Inspired by the breed’s centuries-long history as a hunting companion and family pet, Moss captures the essence of the dog’s spirit: devoted, curious, and always ready to accompany its owner. Known for their excellent sense of smell, cheerful temperament, and sociable nature, these dogs are as much at home in the field as they are in the living room. Moss distills this duality—playful yet steadfast—into a timeless portrait.

Placement & Gift Ideas

“Beagle” is ideal for dog-friendly spaces such as living rooms, studies, or hallways, where it can serve as a daily reminder of companionship and loyalty. Its warm yet subtle palette ensures it blends beautifully with both modern and traditional interiors.

As a gift, this lithograph is perfect for Beagle owners, dog enthusiasts, or collectors of Moss’s Dog Collection. It also makes a thoughtful keepsake for those remembering a cherished Beagle companion.

🐾 Fun Fact: The Nose Knows

Beagles have one of the best senses of smell in the canine world—second only to the Bloodhound. With over 220 million scent receptors, they can track scents for miles, which is why they’ve been used for centuries as hunting companions and, today, as working dogs in airports and customs. Despite their tracking skills, they remain one of the most affectionate, family-friendly breeds around.
